KB441247: JBoss specific configuration requirements when setting up SAML 2.0 for MicroStrategy Library 10.11

Description

On JBoss EAP 7.x, SAML files generated using the SAML configuration page in MicroStrategy System Administration Guide are not created within the Strategy Library deployment folder:

/[path_to_jboss-eap]/standalone/deployments/StrategyLibrary.war/WEB-INF/classes/auth/SAML/stage

Why is this happening?

This behavior is JBoss-specific. The SAML configuration files are created in a different location.

Solution

1. Find the SAML configuration files under the following path:
   

   
   /[path_to_jboss-eap]/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/ejb3/main/timers/auth/SAML/stage

   
   
2. Copy the created files and the

   IDPMetadata.xml

   file retrieved from the Identity Provider to the following location:
   

   
   /[path_to_jboss-eap]/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/ejb3/main/timers/auth/SAML

   
   
3. Restart JBoss.
